The architectural style and furnishings match the landscape, using light colors, open spaces and materials appropriate to the climate. Throughout the property are artworks by <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Prune Nourry<\/span><\/span> and <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Joel Andrianomearisoa<\/span><\/span>, which provide a subtle artistic touch. The detached villas, designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, are scattered throughout the property, with some sheltered among the trees for some extra privacy, and others directly on the beach. The large glass walls can be fully opened and directly connect the living spaces. A stay at Cheval Blanc Mah\u00e9 Island is suitable for complete relaxation, but also offers opportunities to explore the island. Colorful coral reefs, rainforest and natural parks are a short distance away, and the day ends with a beautiful sunset.      <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"372\" data-end=\"810\">Tips &amp; Tops Cheval Blanc Mah\u00e9 Island:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"372\">52 spacious, detached villas available, each with its own infinity pool<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"372\">Choose from a Beach Villa, Ocean Hill Villa or Panorama Hill Villa<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"372\">Enjoy the service of a dedicated butler who will arrange everything for you, from unpacking suitcases to personalized excursions<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"372\">Explore five culinary restaurants featuring French haute cuisine, Asian finesse and Mediterranean dishes prepared with local ingredients<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"372\">Relax in the spa with exclusive Guerlain rituals, open spa pavilions and several serene pools<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"372\">Take advantage of the beach club, fitness facilities, yoga and meditation<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"372\">Take part in activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, sunset cruises, jungle hikes and encounters with giant tortoises<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"372\">Experience private picnics, art workshops and island excursions<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"372\">Discover with fun for the whole family; Le Carrousel kids club, adventure programs and creative workshops<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A beautiful hotel located in the bay of Anse Intendance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":314,"featured_media":401597,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"country":[334],"highlight_category":[603],"continent_category":[186],"class_list":["post-401714","highlights","type-highlights","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country-seychelles","highlight_category-accommodatie-en","continent_category-africa"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/401714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/highlights"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/314"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/401714\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":405303,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/401714\/revisions\/405303"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=401714"},{"taxonomy":"highlight_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlight_category?post=401714"},{"taxonomy":"continent_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent_category?post=401714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
